My dear friend, Karen, and I are the new co-ordinators for the Bridal & Baby Showers held by our church. Peeps ... putting together Showers is just too much fun! And althougth we have to plan within a set budget, so far we are able to assemble quite a do? ... due? ... dew? ... EVENT with the funds provided.

Tomorrow night we are organizing our 2nd Bridal Shower. Jennifer is the lovely Bride-to-Be. Word circulated today that Jenn is battling with the flu bug. Won't be much fun without her, of course, so we hope she recovers soon.

I promise to include more pictures of the actual party, but for now I will show you only the Jelly Belly packages that we will hand out for prizes. Sort of a sweet teaser ....

We found out that one package of Jelly Bellys from Costco fills 12 little zip lock bags perfectly ... and the treat bags fit perfectly into these pretty little boxes purchased from the Dollar Store. Wrap it with a ribbon, and we're good to go.

So my Hubby and I went on a bit of an adventure this past weekend. One of our stops included a night as guests at the magnificentGeorge Washington Inn in Port Angeles, Washington

Here I am (far right) with Janet and Dan (Inn keepers) and their daughter Elizabeth. I have been friends with them for over 31 years. How can we look so good after 31 years!

In between catching up with the latest news with Janet, I went around their Bed & Breakfast and snapped a few pictures. My apologies for the darkness ... poor camera ... and even worse photographer!

Their B&B sits on 10 lovely acres. Here is a view from our bedroom window. On one side of the B&B you have a breath-taking view of the mountains ...

and if you turn around you see the vast Pacific Ocean. Yep ... God certainly has blessed Dan and Janet abundantly with this find.

Here is the back view of George Washington Inn. I know ... it's much bigger than my house too.

And finally, I snuck into the under-construction area of the B&B. Above the basement ... above the main floor ... and even above the 2nd floor there is yet another floor that they plan to open for conferences. An architecturally beautiful area with sloped ceilings and dormer windows. Perfect for a training retreat or seminar. AND if that wasn't enough ... above that is a cupola ... from there you can see in ALL directions for miles and miles and miles.

Unfortunately, this photographer has a horrible fear of heights and only made it half way up the spiral staircase. Maybe one day I will share the view!
